With pc gaming getting more popular over the years cheating will be always part of it.
In my experience playing on all different platforms: Only PlayStation offers a mostly cheat free experience. Xbox can’t guarantee that you will only face Xbox gamers (because how gamepass is designed).
This is the benefit of a closed system.
Real anti cheat measures bind employees because there’s no system 100% perfect and an anti cheat process requires at least an anti cheat team.
Got used to the Steam OS Desktop on my steam deck. I used Ubuntu a decade ago and went with Kubuntu on my gaming rig which won’t support windows 11 but I wanted the same desktop like my steam deck.
More than 6 months and no regrets. Since 24.10 you even get wayland natively. Even my old NVIDIA 1080 Ti works good.
